Hana Financial Group Hires Non-Financial Sector Professionals
Digital Talent Recruitment Also Becoming Mainstream
Hana Financial Group Targets Groups Affected by Economic Recession
[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Banks are expanding their recruitment in various ways. Some target victims of the economic recession, while others focus on digital-related personnel through rolling recruitment, concentrating on adapting to the changing environment.
According to Hana Financial Group on the 3rd, seven affiliates within the group, including Hana Bank, Hana Financial Investment, and Hana Card, are conducting a special recruitment project called "Shooting Hope in Finance! Ladder Project." This special recruitment will begin with Hana Bank on the 8th.
The recruitment targets include those affected by the economic recession such as retirees from small and medium enterprises with non-financial sector experience, career interrupters, small business owners who have closed their businesses, and freelancers. Hana Financial Group stated that by providing these groups with opportunities based on diversity, the group plans to serve as a "ladder of hope."
There will be no restrictions on educational background, career (industry), gender, age, or region, and selection will be mainly through document screening and interviews. Candidates will be assigned to positions suitable for their experience and capabilities demonstrated during the selection process.
Digital Talent Recruitment Focuses on Practical Skills
